American Humor: A man walks into a pet shop and asks to purchase a horse. The shopkeeper looks aghast possibly looking into the camera. *Laugh track*
British humor: A man walks into a pet shop and asks to purchase a horse. The shopkeeper, without missing a beat, enquires as to the specifics and then walks backstage and brings out a horse. No laugh tracks.
Japanese humor: A man walks into a pet ship and asks about purchasing a horse. However the shopkeeper is bereived by the personal issues and may have to close his shop, so he 'does his best' and asks his female assistance to dress up as a horse girl and passes her to the man, signing over her so he can buy some time which she dutifully accepts. He takes the horsegirl home beginning a new manga series.
